Chapter 464: Chapter 464

Dean Zhang and Wu Weiguo sat in the office.

"I say, Old Wu, this isn’t your style. You’re always running to me every couple of days to inquire about Jiang Xiaoxiao’s situation. I’ve become your personal secretary. Why can’t you ask the child directly? Haven’t I heard that your two families are quite close, meeting her every day.

You could just ask her yourself, yet you specifically come to me. Honestly, I’m very curious, curious about what exactly your relationship with Jiang Xiaoxiao is! You say Jiang Xiaoxiao married into the Song family, and yet you and the Song family don’t get along.

Your concern for this child is a bit too much; it’s beyond a typical relationship between younger generations."

Dean Zhang was brimming with curiosity.

Wu Weiguo’s mouth twitched slightly; he wasn’t fond of smiling and was always serious, so even a little twitch was rare.

"What kind of relationship? She saved my nephew’s life, and our Wu family is extremely grateful and feels obligated to repay such a debt well."

Wu Weiguo also knew that his actions were bound to raise suspicions sooner or later.

But he worried he might not have time; recently those people have been making moves, and he truly felt concerned.

"Well, that’s a very legitimate reason, indeed. Her lifesaving favor is truly remarkable. Your whole Wu family is extremely grateful. It’s a great blessing. Why didn’t I encounter such a miracle? If I could cure your nephew, you might treat me like a deity."

Dean Zhang was somewhat skeptical of this explanation, mainly because until now, he had paid more attention to Jiang Xiaoxiao than to other students, but this focused attention actually proved disappointing.

Her grades for the first semester weren’t outstanding, only barely passing the basic line.

What does this imply? It implies that the child doesn’t have a solid foundation in basic knowledge.

Although many times it’s known.

An exam score can’t determine much, and as many who study medicine understand, it’s often the later courses that matter more. These medical mathematics and theoretical medical physics courses, as long as you pass, are not too relevant.

But many had high expectations for Jiang Xiaoxiao at the start, including Dean Zhang, who had heard about Jiang Xiaoxiao’s experience saving the Wu family’s grandson Xiaocheng.

This matter was long regarded highly by others, and the events at the start of the school year made it even more vividly discussed within the school.

In this school circle, naturally, it sparked reactions from these students’ families.

This news caused a sensation.

Initially, many people paid close attention to Jiang Xiaoxiao, with quite a few inquiring about her.

But for now, what Jiang Xiaoxiao delivered was indeed disappointing to him, and many people who saw her work probably laughed at Wu, at Feng, believing they were blind. If someone like her is called a genius, then the rest of the medical students should be labeled prodigies.

"Stop wasting words. Just tell me how the child is doing now?"

Wu Weiguo interrupted his chatter.

"To be honest with you, I currently don’t see any special talents in Jiang Xiaoxiao. Her first-semester grades only prove she is a barely passing student. Although the second semester has just begun to cover medical knowledge, based on my past experience, when a student’s initial grades show such disparity, the later results won’t be much better.

Of course, there’s the possibility that the child is currently pregnant, affecting her performance, but I think you shouldn’t hold high hopes. Teaching students for so many years, I’ve seen that every student’s situation usually reveals their potential right from the start.

Many people say some individuals realize their potential later on, but I’m telling you, such talents are hard to come by. Most people who don’t perform normally early on will find learning increasingly difficult as time goes on.

I don’t have high expectations for Jiang Xiaoxiao. You mentioned ancestral secrets; those are too vague. We haven’t researched the mysterious effects those old ancestral items might have, nor do I have the authority to comment.

All I can say about Jiang Xiaoxiao as a person is that my opinion of her is very ordinary and average."

Wu Weiguo looked disappointedly at Dean Zhang.

"I understand, your words are usually very definite."

He got up and walked away.

Dean Zhang caught up, "Hey, Old Wu, that’s not right! They say burning bridges after crossing rivers; your behavior is the epitome of that! After saying your piece, you don’t even stop to catch up with an old friend, just up and left. Fine, fine, go ahead, but don’t come looking for me next time; ask directly yourself."

He watched Wu Weiguo walk away without turning back.

Dean Zhang shouted angrily.

Director Wu poked his head out in the hallway, saw the Dean and awkwardly smiled.

Jiang Xiaoxiao returned home; she recently started a major task of organizing cases she vividly remembered.

After all, this is the precious wealth accumulated over years of experience, especially some three-dimensional surgical anatomical diagrams.

The current surgical anatomy compared to any future computer-aided three-dimensional illustrations is completely different; now it’s based on one’s own ability, forming an image in the mind.

Of course, this requires long-term study, a deep familiarity with every tissue, blood vessel, nerve, and cell, to create such an image in the mind.

But fortunate enough, she already had rich experiences, so she hoped to draw these out and organize them into detailed materials.

This would easily solve challenges encountered in future surgeries.

This summer vacation for medical students wasn’t a holiday, as during these two months they had even more to learn.

Jiang Xiaoxiao and Song Moting took advantage of this vacation to learn together. Many things Xiao Xiao could only remember partially, and some basic knowledge she still needed to repeatedly consolidate, besides knowing her weaknesses.

For instance, medical mathematics and medical physics were indeed simpler compared to real college-level mathematics and physics, but for her, with poor fundamentals, it was still challenging.

However, Song Moting was different. His grades ranked at the top, having a high-achieving husband by her side.

Why not make the most of it and have him tutor her? Not doing so would be foolish.

Thus, Song Moting became Jiang Xiaoxiao’s best tutor, and the two studied together.

Because Jiang Xiaoxiao had many advanced anatomical, medical, and pharmacological insights that Song Moting lacked.

It’s not that Elder Meng’s family education could solely produce the best doctor. Jiang Xiaoxiao shared her advanced experiences with Song Moting, while Song Moting reinforced Jiang Xiaoxiao’s basic knowledge.

Their summer vacation was truly solid and fulfilling.

Apart from occasional romantic outings, most of their time was spent studying indoors.

Song Moting accompanied Jiang Xiaoxiao on walks in the grove outside their house, as by summer, Jiang Xiaoxiao was already in the late stages of pregnancy, and some increased exercise was necessary.

Otherwise, childbirth would pose a challenge, and Jiang Xiaoxiao didn’t wish for a cesarean section.

As long as conditions were normal, she hoped for a natural birth, which would be beneficial for both the baby and the mother.
